Jeremiah 3:14Easy To Read Version“You people are unfaithful. But Come back to me!” This message was from the Lord. See the chapter |
Your people are very many. They are like the sands of the sea. But only a few of the people will be left to come back to the Lord. Those people will return to God, but first, your country will be destroyed. God has announced that he will destroy the land. And then goodness will come into the land; it will be like a river flowing full.

“If a man divorces his wife,\par and she leaves him\par and marries another man,\par can that man come back to his wife again?\par No! If that man went back to that woman, {\cf2\super [14]} \par then that land would become ‘dirty.’\par Judah, you acted like a prostitute\par with many lovers (false gods).\par And now you want to come back to me!”\par This message was from the Lord.\par
The people of Israel will come\par to the top of Zion, {\cf2\super [252]} \par and they will shout with joy.\par Their faces will shine with happiness\par about the good things the Lord gives them.\par The Lord will give them grain, new wine,\par olive oil, young sheep, and cows.\par They will be like a garden\par that has plenty of water.\par And the people of Israel will not\par be troubled anymore.\par
